Tonight's shave was very nice indeed.
What can I say about MdC that hasn't been said, 3 seconds loading the brush and I never thought about going back to the puck for more.
It is that good.
Yes the up front cost is steep, I got my 200g tub on sale at WCS for $50. That will probably last me 3 years if I use it everyday.
It balances out.
And with a properly hydrated MdC lather, the ATG 1st pass on my neck was smooth, the blade might also be breaking in. I am finding that I need to buff like I'm using a tech with the BD's, but I am not getting the irritation. I shaved my face ATG also, and XTG around my lips.
The 2nd pass was nose to ear on my face and chin, and XTG on my neck. There was still some patches around my chin and neck, so a 3rd ATG pass on my neck cleaned up just about everything.
I brushed on a thin coat of lather and cleaned up my gear.
The Witch hazel felt nice, and the Amici felt nice also. The Nivea balm confirmed a very close shave.
My face is a little tender, but it is smooth.
BBS smooth.
I suspect I will wake up with a BBS.
